Romanticism

Romanticism was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in the late 18th century. In reaction to the Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment values of reason and order, Romantic artists emphasized imagination, emotion, and glorification of the past.
In art, Romanticism favored intense colors, drama, and grandeur inspired by medievalism, exoticism, and notions of the sublime. Key artists include Eugène Delacroix, J.M.W. Turner, and John Constable. Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830) conveyed heroic passion for freedom. Turner’s landscapes explored light and turbulence. Constable’s The Hay Wain (1821) captured the quietude of rural life.
In music, composers like Beethoven, Chopin, and Wagner produced emotionally evocative works. Romantic poets including Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, and Hugo celebrated imagination, nature, and individuality. Novelists such as Hugo, Dumas, and Dickens explored stirring tales of adventure, passion, and purpose.
Philosophers including Schelling emphasized intuition over reason. New nationalist sentiments spread as people found spiritual connection in history, folklore, and natural landscapes of their native countries or cultural homelands.
By the later 19th century, Romanticism gave way to Realism but shaped lasting notions of creative individualism, belief in human emotional depths, and return to spiritual roots found more in folk traditions or mysteries of the past than Enlightenment values alone.
At its best, Romantic art aimed to transcend everyday realities through intense expressions of emotion, imagination, and wonder at the sublimity of the natural world as well as infinite depths of human creative possibility or passion for meaning, purpose, and mystery beyond quotidian life. The Romantic vision endures whenever the chords it first awakened still find echo in the longing that lifts mortal affairs toward realms of timeless in beauty or truth composed and yet awaiting discovery by each heart seeking in quieter hours respite or meaning beyond all bounds of reason alone.
